Feed the Future Zambia Interim Survey in the Zone of Infuence

Feed the Future monitors its performance in part by periodic assessments of a number of standardized indicators. These indicators reflect data collected through population-based surveys (PBS) in the geographic areas targeted by Feed the Future interventions, known as the Feed the Future Zones of Influence (ZOI). The Zambia interim ZOI survey covers only the rural and peri-urban population in the five districts, which reflects the Rural Agricultural Livelihoods Survey (RALS) sample frame. Classification of rural and peri-urban standard enumeration areas (EAs) draws on information from Zambia’s 2000 Census of Population and Housing, the approach established for Zambia Post Harvest Surveys (PHS), and the RALS sample frame. Agricultural households are those reporting any crop production, livestock production, poultry production, or fish farming; rural EAs are those that include at least 30 agricultural households; and peri-urban EAs are urban EAs with at least 70 percent of their households classified as agricultural. The ZOI population that resides in the urban areas excluded from the Zambia ZOI survey represents approximately 10 percent of the total ZOI population. The Zambia ZOI interim survey was conducted by Feed the Future FEEDBACK (FTF FEEDBACK) in conjunction with its data collection partner, Palm Associates Limited. Fieldwork for the ZOI interim survey took place from November 25 to December 21, 2015. The report of the survey including the complete questionnaire can be found in the reference PA00MJMB.pdf. Versions of the dataset in SAS, SPSS and STATA are available on request by sending an email to opendata@usaid.gov.
